Overview

A flat (but potentially muddy) walk east and northeast of Tonbridge to indulge 2 of my main interests!

Including stops at the following 4 pubs:-

- Poacher and Partridge, Tudeley Hale;

- Bell Inn, Golden Green;

- Rose Revived, Hadlow;

- Carpenters Arms

There will also be a picnic lunch stop at East Lock on the River Medway (between 1st and 2nd pub stops).

Walk can also be shortened to ca. 8 miles (or less) by catching a bus from either of the last 2 pubs along the A26 to Tonbridge (frequent service).
